Support This Padma Shri Award Recipient’s Mission To Protect Thousands Of Cows
Feel free to ask Campaigner for a new update on this Fundraiser.
Project
One day, Sudevi Mataji found an injured calf, thrown with the garbage on the outskirts of a village. Her back leg was broken, and the dirt and dust had formed a thick, cakey layer over the wound. Maggots were feasting on the exposed flesh and covered half her body. Sudevi Mataji took the calf home and nursed it back to health. That's when the real journey of her life began.
Before she knew it, Sudevi Mataji had about 40 calves and 4 cows. She then rented land in the fields to care for them, and people kept bringing old, sick, and injured cows to her. Sudevi Mataji didn't have the heart to turn them away. She then started the Radha Surabhi Gaushala in Mathura, a safe and welcoming home for cows. Today, she has over 2500 cows whom she takes care of. Nearly half of these cows are permanently handicapped, sick, or injured.
Her Journey To India Changed Her Life
Friederike Bruning, a German who came to India as a passing tourist, over 40 years ago was irresistibly attracted to the country's spiritual heritage and traditions. She came in search of the right path to the ultimate goal of life, and she still continues to practice what she found and learned.
After finding answers in the Bhagavat Gita, Friederike became an ardent devotee of Lord Diety. She started leading a spiritual life and after taking Diksha, Friederika became known as Sudevi Mataji. Apart from her devotion, she also found a new and special bond between her and the gentle cows. For her selfless and untiring efforts to rescue animals, Sudevi Mataji even received the Padma Shri award.
However, She’s Struggling To Take Care Of These Cows On her Own
Mataji may be over 60 years old, but she has the energy and spirit of a teenager. However, the Radha Soorabhi Gaushala has faced a fair share of challenges in the past and continues to do so even today. Mataji had to shift premises a few times to accommodate the increasing number of cows. Now, she’s struggling to feed the 2500+ cows that depend on her. She has to depend heavily on donations and support from her family to run the shelter, but even that isn’t enough. With monthly expenses at about 35 lakhs for the upkeep and care of the cows, she needs your help urgently. She just can’t do it on her own.
How You Can Help
Each cow, calf, and bull at Radha Surabhi has a name, an identity, and a special place in Sudevi Mataji's heart. She knows which of them love attention and who likes to be left alone. She is aware of those who will make it and those that will succumb. And all of them receive equal love and attention.
Mataji’s most important mission is to take care of her cows. She’s worried that if she doesn’t receive help soon, 2500+ helpless cows will go hungry. Your support will save these cows.
